Young Miss, Please Don't Run

The morning after the emperor's banquet, the whole town was gossipping what had happened at the banquet.

The most gossipped person is no other than Ba Yue. It was rumored that Ba Yue of the Ba family has turned from an ugly, fat, useless young miss into a super beautiful woman! So beautiful that the emperor has decided to arrange a marriage for her with his favorite son, the 7th prince!

Of course, there were many other versions of the rumors out there. But one thing that never changes in those rumors, was that Ba Yue has become very beautiful!

The outside of the Ba Residence was packed with people, mostly men, that wants to have a glimpse of the rumored young miss of the Ba family. Who was said to be more beautiful than the four big beauties!

Outside the front door, other than those regular people, there were servants from the influential families and government officials with invitations to be given to Master Ba.

Now that Ba Yue has been engaged to the 7th prince, they all want to make connections with the Ba. Even though the 7th prince is an idiot, but he is still the most favorite prince of the current emperor!

The guards ran to report the situation to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper than ran to report it to the Master Ba.

"What's with the commotion?," asked Ba Yue as she walks out of the room, with eyes half closed, looking sleepy.

One of the maids comes up to Ba Yue and told her what's going outside the Residence.

"Those people must have nothing better to do to get up this early in the morning to come here."

As Ba Yue turns away to go back to her to sleep some more, she quickly turns back around and tells the maid, "tell my father I won't have breakfast today but will have lunch with him. Also, do not bother my sleep unless it's an emergency!" She then turns around and heads back to her room to continue her sleep.

Less than an hour later, there were knocks on Ba Yue's room door, but there was no answer. But the knock continued and soon comes the voice of the person knocking.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, please open the door! Says Xi Xi, she looked like she was in a hurry.

The door finally opened and the half awake Ba Yue stood there looking not too happy.

" Young miss, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but Master has asked you to come to the main living room."

"Why does father ask for me?" asks Ba Yue as she yawns while rubbing her eyes with her right hand. And then she turns around to walk back into her room.

Xi Xi follows her into the room and said, "young miss, someone has come to visit you."

"Oh? I don't have any friends, so who would have come to visit me?"

"I get it, I'll go wash up and come out soon," says Ba Yue with impatient's seen in her eyes.

Xi Xi then left to report it back to Master Ba.

What do those 2 stupid, good for nothing doing here early in the morning? I haven't even gone to look for trouble with them yet, and they show up here!

After washing up and getting dressed, Ba Yue took her time walking slowly to the main living room. There's Master Ba, her 2 brothers, Li Dong Man, and Prince Feng in the room along with a few maids serving tea to them.

Ba Yue went up to give her morning greetings to her father and brothers and totally ignoring the guests.

Of course, the 2 guests didn't even notice it because they were to busy looking at Ba Yue. They still can't believe that she has changed so much and has turned into such a very beautiful lady. Even though Ba Yue is now engaged to the 7th prince, they believe that until she's officially married they still have a chance.

Master Ba told her something and left since he has more work to do. But the brothers stayed, they can't leave their younger sister here with these two!

Finally, Ba Yue can't stand the way those 2 looks at her anymore.

"What brings you 2 over this early in the morning?" She asked in an unfriendly tone, but that didn't bother those two at all. They even found her cute the way she talks. If it was the old Ba Yue, that won't be the case at all.

"Ah Yue, I'm sorry for not visiting you earlier. I was busy lately and didn't know you were in an accident until last night. I came to see how you are doing and brought you some thousand-year-old ginseng," said Li Dong Man.

When Ba Yue heard him said that, she couldn't help but gave him a cold smile. That accident happened so long ago, lots of people know about it so that's no way he doesn't know. He has not visited the old Ba Yue even once when she was in a coma and of course, have never stopped by since I took over this body.

He said he was busy, but everyone in town knows where he was. He was busy alright, busy with wooing Tang Wen Yi, busy going on dates with her. And what's what the cheap ginseng? That ginseng is not even worth 1/10 of what has given him by the old Ba Yue when he was sick in the past.

"First of all, Mister Li, you and I are not that close and I'm currently engaged to the 7th prince. Please do not call me ah Yue, call me Miss Ba or Ba Yue.

Secondly, It doesn't matter to me if you are too busy and can't come to see me. I'm all better now, so I don't need your ginseng, please take it back."

"Ba Yue, Li Dong Man was just being nice, you don't have to talk like that," said Prince Feng. Doesn't Ba Yue like Li Dong Man? That why when Li Dong Man said he wants to come here to visit her, I followed him.

Now that Ba Yue has become so beautiful, it's such a waste to give her to my idiot younger brother. He doesn't even know how to enjoy a woman in bed. I'll have to find a way to get my hands on Ba Yue, once she's mine, then I can ask imperial father to cancel her engagement to that idiot brother of mine and have her marry me instead!

That Li Dong Man better not put his dirty hands on her, he should just stick with Tang Wen Yi. But I guess I was worrying for nothing, Ba Yue sounds like she doesn't like him anymore.

"Ha...".with a cold laugh. Ba Yue turn her focus to the 2nd Prince, "This is between Li Dong Man and me, it has nothing to do with you. And what brings the honorable 2nd prince here today?"

"I'm Dong Man's friend and since you have been engaged to my younger brother, I figure I should stop by with Ding Man to see how you are doing and to also congratulate you on the engagement."

"Oh, that was very kind of you, now that you both have seen me and congratulated me, please leave. I still have more thing to do, said Ba Yue with a lazy uncaring tone.

I know what these two are thinking. They still think that I'm the same old Ba Yue, still so easy to lie to, huh?

Li Dong Man's probably thinking that since I'm more beautiful now, it's good to have extra choices to choose from. Even though Tang Wen Yi is from the Tang family but she's still only the 3rd young miss, she still has other sisters. The Tang and the Ba are both the same level big families, but I'm sure Dong Man can tell the Ba are far well off than the Tang, especially with the kind of gifts that the old Ba Yue has given him before.

And as for the pervert, 2nd prince, I don't need to think to know what's he thinking! As Li Hei Yi, I've met him enough time to know what's he's thinking and plotting now.

Just as Ba Jing and Ba Xi is about to ask these two so-called of a guest to leave. A voice was coming from the outside getting closer to the living room has spoken first.

"Big sister, big sister, I'm come to see you!" As the voice gets closer, we can see that the voice belongs to the 7th prince.

When the 7th prince walks into the living room, he was surprised to see so many people there. He ignored everyone that was in the room and head straight to Ba Yue.

"Big sister, I missed you already, do you miss me?" asked the 7th prince with his eyes shining with light, anticipating her reply.

But to his disappointment, Ba Yue's reply was "what are you doing here?"

Before the 7th prince can answer Ba Yue's question, the 2nd prince has spoken first.

"Hey idiot, what are you doing here? Does imperial father know you went outside again? You better go back to the palace now! And don't worry about your fiancee, I'll help you "take care" of her." Said the 2nd prince with his jeering voice.

There was a flash of unpleasant and slight killing intent in the 7th prince's eye. It flashes through so quickly that no one has noticed it and has turned back to his old innocent self.

"I have gotten permission from the imperial father to come here. Imperial father said that I should come here to visit big sister more often to farther our feelings. When I was getting permission from father, I have overheard concubine Liu asking imperial father to find a lady to have an arranged marriage for you brother."

When the 2nd prince heard that he panics because concubine Liu is his mother and she has been bugging him to get married for a while now. He can't let imperial father set him up with just anybody. It has to be someone worthy of being his wangfei!

"Ba Yue, I have something to do and have to go now, I'll see you later," says the 2nd prince as he rushes out of the Ba residence leaving behind his good old friend Li Dong Man.

"Big sister, who's that big brother there?" asked the 7th prince as he point toward Li Dong Man.

"He's the 2nd prince's friend and who is about to leave now too, right?" Said Ba Yue with inpatients in her eyes.

"I'll leave for today ah Yue, I mean Miss Ba. I'll come again to visit another time." Said Li Dong Man and left without saying anything else.

He can't continue his talk with ah Yue now that the 7th prince has shown up.

Even though the 7th prince is an idiot and gets bullied by the 2nd prince. That's because he's the 2nd prince, whose mother is the emperor's current favorite concubine. Only the 2nd prince dares to bully this 7th prince. If we do anything or say anything that this 7th prince don't like and go tell on us to the emperor, it'll be trouble.

After Li Dong Man left, Ba Zi and Ba Jing told Ba Yue to take care of the 7th prince and that has something to do and have to leave first. They actually like this 7th prince a little and don't think that this innocent prince can hurt their sister.

Finally, it's just the 7th prince and Ba Yue left in the living room.

"Big sister, what are we going to do today."

"Nothing, I'm busy and you should go back home."

"It's okay, I'm not busy, I can stay here until you are not busy. We can go out and play when you are not busy."
